Explanation, springs are weak on the Libertys and sag, even with a Daystar lift you may only have one inch of lift so will determine how big of a tire you can go. Measure middle of the wheel to very bottom of the flare in front and report back You should be able to run a 30 inch tall tire if not sagged too much My lift kit is the 2.5" with origin springs and recoils. I measured the wheel hub until the flare, there are about 34 cm whith my wheels |

Middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare should be 54.61 cm IF you have in fact have 2.5 inches of lift , like I said most do not due to sagging weak springs |

No need to cut the wheel liner either for that matter IF using the correct width wheels with the right back spacing and not trying to run oversize tires on a spacer lift then no cutting is needed If you are indeed running 255-60-17s as per your first post then those are stock height ( 29.1 inches tall) If you have rubbing with a daystar lift installed you either have a lot of sag or wheels are way wrong But then you mention 16 inch wheels but no tire size or what width or backspacing the wheels are so more info is needed |

Why are you installing spacers, from the picture it looks like the wheel already sits out some |

If you are unlifted and fitting that size tire I think spacers are going to give you more issues with rubbing |
